Spending Review Reaction | Political Frenemies #18

In this episode, Lib Dem activist Mathew Hulbert and formerTory adviser Chris Newton lock horns over the Labour government's first major spending review—do their ambitious plans really add up? The frenemies dig into the political and economic case for boosting health and defence budgets, debate whether Kemi Badenoch is finally finding her feet at PMQs, and tackle the week’s biggest political twists and turns with their trademark mix of sharp disagreement and unexpected common ground.Thumbnail imagery attribution:Rachel Reeves: Lauren Hurley / No 10 Downing Street.
